Apparatus for attaching articles to a plastic bag wall

Abstract

A plastic bag bundle comprised of a plurality of juxtaposed flat plastic bags each having a front and rear wall panel and a mouth opening for inserting one or more articles in the bag. A flat article(s), such as coupons, cards, packets, etc., is retained captive in one of the front and rear panels. The bundle is formed of bags having the flat article in some of said bags disposed offset from said article in others of said bags. The bags with the offset articles are interposed in a predetermined sequence with the other bags so as to form a bundle having a generally constant thickness in the area of the juxtaposed panels. Such bag bundles are used in bagging machines where articles are dropped in a first of this bundle of bags which is opened, and wherein the bundle is usually held on wicker pins disposed next to a loading station.
